Things here are passing away. You've got to hold on to what will stand. Savor what matters. This collection of thirty-one articles is full of that heart-longing after Christ that distinguishes Piper's preaching ministry.

We are fragile. Life is short. Eternity is long. Every minute counts. Oh, to be a faithful steward of the breath God has given me. Three texts resound in my ears: \"Redeem the time\" (Ephesians 5:16 ); \"It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy\" (1 Corinthians 4:2); \"His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me\" (1 Corinthians 15:10 ). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSurely God means for our minutes on earth to count for something significant. Paul said, \"In the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain\" (Philippians 2:16). In the same way, I have good hope from the Lord that my \"labor is not in vain in the Lord\" (1 Corinthians 15:58 ).\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Piper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prh Christian Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/2\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\" H x 5\" L x 0.44\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780525653400\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67375087681840,"sku":"9780525653400","price":16.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780525653400.jpg?v=1784223903","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/life-as-a-vapor-thirty-one-meditations-for-your-faith-john-piper-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
